Hopi

The Hopi are a Native American tribe from Arizona, and a part of the Pueblo peoples. They first encountered the Spanish in the 16th century and were named for their pueblo adobe huts, and they were forced onto a reservation by President Chester A. Arthur in 1882. The Hopi reservation is surrounded by the Navajo reservation, despite the two tribes being rivals. In 1936, the Hopi ratified a constitution which created a unicameral government consisting of a tribal council. In 2010, the Hopi population was 18,327 people.
